AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To analyze the assertion and reason provided in the question, we can break down the solution into the following steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that "In Neurospora, each gene either dominant or recessive expresses its effect." - Neurospora is a haploid organism, meaning it has only one set of chromosomes. - In haploid organisms, each gene is represented by a single allele. Therefore, either the dominant or the recessive allele can express its effect independently. ### Step 2: Evaluate the Reason The reason states that "Neurospora contains many alleles of a gene." - While it is true that some organisms can have multiple alleles for a single gene (multiple alleles), in the case of Neurospora, due to its haploid nature, each gene is controlled by only one allele at a time. - Thus, the statement about Neurospora containing many alleles of a gene is incorrect. ### Step 3: Determine the Truth Value of Assertion and Reason - The assertion is **true** because in Neurospora, each gene does express its effect as either dominant or recessive. - The reason is **false** because Neurospora does not have multiple alleles for each gene due to its haploid nature. ### Step 4: Conclusion Based on the evaluation: - Assertion: True - Reason: False Thus, the correct conclusion is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false. ### Final Answer: Assertion is true, Reason is false. ---
